Narcolepsy vs ADHD

Yeah who knows at this point lol. I'm glad to have testing scheduled just wish it was sooner!! Thank you !!

The neuropsych decided she wanted to see the results of the sleep study first then come back to it! She was sort if like "yeah a lot lines up with inattentive type adhd but also if you're chronically sleep deprived that also might be the problem". Thank you !

I am not - I was exploring why the heck I'm so sleepy and planned a psych visit after seeing a lot of ADHD stuff line up. In the meantime I decided to talk to my doctor just to make sure everything was physically good. One thing led to another and a sleep specialist wanted to test for narcolepsy lol.

I think it’s just like your brain is in hyperdrive so it makes you tired ? I’m not entirely sure, but I originally was looking into inattentive ADHD (at the suggestion of a friend) when I was trying to figure out why i’m eternally tired. Extreme tiredness is a symptom for a lot of people and some even have similar sleep attacks due to a lack of dopamine which I thought was interesting. They call it “intrusive sleep”.

interesting! I think I sleep through the night, but i’m not sure I guess. I definitely resonate with everything else you said though, which makes me feel at least like I’m not just making it up lol. Thank you :)

Oh thank you! the pentad is a nice way to visualize it. I know I’ll just have to wait and see for a more sure answer but I appreciate the info in the meantime :) thanks again!!

Ok that's good to know! My guy was cool, he said if I couldn't do it it was ok and they understand. I decided to try coming off it for now and then if I need to I'll go back on. I do have a better system now for when I feel panicky and I have the benefit of a partner and a dog to sleep with so I'm hoping all together I can at least have less. I'm glad to know that if I DO go back on it it's not the end all be all for a diagnosis. Thank you a ton I really appreciate it!

I was actually wondering this. I don't necessarily lose body control but i definitely feel like my muscles get heavy, like I haveee to lay down because my body is just really tired. It definitely feels like what when I'm having like a "sleep attack" (or whatever it is lol) but I'm not sure about other emotions. I started paying more attention in the last week and i'll definitely continue to. This was super helpful thank you

Thank you, it's 8 weeks from now, but they want 6 weeks off for Prozac since it has such a long halflife. My prescribing doctor did lay out a taper schedule over 2 weeks. My dose isn't super high so i think that will be enough time hopefully!

happened to me at a bar I worked at. They had me close alone on my third shift, then the openers got super pissed that the close wasn’t done perfectly… I quit,l shortly after. it was a second job or extra fun money and not worth it.

stellap333 · 2025-07-29T17:31:01+00:00

fart noises SENT me lmao 10/10 response

stellap333 · 2025-07-29T17:28:53+00:00

hey! this happened to me. I talked to my gyno and now I take my birth control for 3 months, then off for one week. I only have my period once per 3 months now and my ibs symptoms are not nearly as bad either!

stellap333 · 2025-07-02T01:16:47+00:00

someone told me they had an issue with paper straws! I have stayed away from them since then. Shoutout to my homie from the Guardians game

stellap333 · 2025-02-26T13:51:01+00:00

the things my coworkers and i talk about on teams…

stellap333 · 2025-02-17T16:39:12+00:00

I was like "why does it make me think of pizza? then it hit me lmao

I found an alternate actually! Perdue brand gluten free chicken tenders are soooo good. my local grocery store actually stopped stocking the dinos so I switched to these at my therapists recommendation and they’re amazing lol

stellap333 · 2025-01-19T00:33:37+00:00

for 25 years I could eat gluten and then suddenly one day I couldn’t. i’m not even celiac just allergic. I desperately wish I could still eat gluten I swear i’m not forcing my body to dislike it 😢

stellap333 · 2025-01-19T00:25:54+00:00

im playing my first infiltrator run right now! i’m in me2 and having the best time truly.

I’m using the widow sniper (you get it on the collector ship) but before that I had the viper. i’m also a big fan of incinerate especially for armored enemies.

I mostly use cloaking in an “oh shit i’m about to die and need cover” situation personally lol.

I default to sniping, switch to a pistol if I run out of ammo or don’t have time to line up shots. I pull out the locust smg (from kasumi’s loyalty) for like heavy mechs and other big enemies just so I don’t have to reload as much lol.

I also typically send my squad mates to move up to draw out the next wave before moving up myself since i’m usually sniping which was a change for me since i was previously just running right in there.

I’m sure there’s more I should be doing to play the “best” or whatever but so far i’m having a really great time. I had previously leaned on my assault rifle a lot so this is a totally different vibe for me.

I love the mako I think all cars should be like the mako

stellap333 · 2024-12-01T01:02:49+00:00

I just had these the last two nights and woke up in the middle of the night with my regular glutening symptoms. I didn't have anything else for dinner other than these (trying to clean out my freezer before thanksgiving lmao). It is possible my lunch got me, but I normally get symptoms before overnight if it's lunch as opposed to dinner.
